Begin your journey at the Visitor Center with narration through 29 historic stops, including the *Road to War* and *Attack* museum galleries. Survivors’ firsthand stories and expert commentary reveal the emotion and impact of that day. nnYour experience continues at the Pearl Harbor Virtual Reality Center, where 360° visuals place you on the harbor and aboard ships as the attack unfolds.
